I´m sry for my bad english Paddy, the glitches have nothing to do with widescreen or else, i just wanted to show that this game is based on realy old technology and the developers have to give the game some love/time/fixing. Specialy the Lara Modell...

@ajg compare my 2 screenshots mentioned above (16:10 vs 16:9 with black bars), look at the head of lara, then you should see the difference.

What the f*** are you talking about? This game looks exceptionally awesome!

I also don't know why you guys are having those black bars. I've got the full version and the game looks damn good at 1680*1050. Here are some screenshots links:

I'm getting fairly contant 60 frames per second at 1680*1050 on my system in "normal" mode (AA turned off - with AA on it's slightly lower). "Next gen" mode gives me an unplayable 12-20. I guess you need a state-of-the-art card to play it on "next gen" mode. Note that the "normal" mode still looks very nice. "Next gen" has loads of fancy shader, lighting and bumpmapping effects, and some textures (such as water) look a lot funkier in that mode, but if you've got a 6800GT like me, you can definitely enjoy this game in widescreen glory!

He did apologise for his bad English ... :wink:

What he was trying to say was that the FOV is no different between 16:10 and 16:9 ... :(

I agree it looks awesome ... but it will look better once the "Next Generation" content is enabled ... see my pictures above.

I made a little video which shows the difference between "normal" and "next gen". It's ~28 megs large. If somebody wants to host it for me, send me a PM. I've only got room for 10MB on my host. >_<

This reminds me of the old sinclair spectrum and C64 days of lying screenshots.

I know for sure next gen is going to make a difference.
Have you ever played a game with shaders off and right after that with all kinds of shaders on.
The complete game is affected by it. Nothing looks the same.
Especially something as simple as bumpmapping makes a HUGE difference on textures.

So i think it would be best not to take any conclusions before you get your hands on the complete game. :D
